Hi there,

Do we need to take into consideration  waste when using the cutt-off datasets?

Dear James, 

 

The way that the cut-off system model handles wastes is explained here

 

The way you model wastes in your foreground depends on what you are modelling and what question you are trying to answer. 

 

In general we recommend to maintain a degree of consistency between foreground and background. But, once again, modelling choices are a responsability of users. 

 

Best regards,
